This patient suffered from cage anxiety resulting in chewing the cage and damaging the canine teeth.  Restoration of these teeth not only provides favorable aesthetics but more importantly protects the dentin from invasion of oral bacteria and subsequent tooth death.  The cage confinement was eliminated in this patient to prevent further damage.  If this was not possible, metal crowns would be needed to prevent further trauma and likely eventual fracture. The following pictures are before and after treatment.
